Arbcom questions 2009 - these will be asked at the interim 2009 elections and scored on a hidden rubric, which will determine my level of support.
Questions from Rschen7754
editNote that some of the questions were recycled from 2008, but have been trimmed down. I will evaluate these and a few other characteristics based on a (private) rubric to determine my level of support. Please note that if you are not an administrator, have not been here for a substantial length of time, or have a statement that is not written seriously, this will drastically affect your score.
The first 10 questions are short answer questions. The last question is a bit open-ended.
- What is your view on the length of time that it took for the case Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Highways 2?
- Do you believe that WikiProjects can enforce standards (such as article layout) on articles?
- An editor has made few to no productive edits to articles on Wikipedia. This user has not broken policies per se, but is hard to deal with, giving "smart aleck" remarks, ignoring consensus, ignoring what administrators tell them, etc. What are your views on this situation?
- There have been editors in the past who have opposed administrators solely for being administrators. To be more specific, a) they oppose on nearly all RFAs, and b) when an administrator's conduct is criticized on ANI, they instantly attack them regardless of the situation. What are your views on this sort of thing?
- An editor does not have the intelligence required to edit Wikipedia. (Specifically, they do not understand English and do not realize that they are messing up things like table syntax, wiki syntax, headings, are adding unsourced things, etc.) What should be done in this situation?
- Do the circumstances described in questions #3-5 justify a community ban?
- Explain in your own words what 3RR is and how it should be enforced.
- When determining if a borderline username is provocative, what criteria do you use?
- A banned user edits Wikipedia. When should their edits be reverted?
- During the course of 2009, User:Casliber, User:FT2, User:Kirill Lokshin, and User:Sam Blacketer left the Arbitration Committee. a) Pick one of these editors and explain why they left the Arbitration Committee. b) Question removed
- Question removed - left as placeholder for consistent numbering
- What are the current problems with the Wikipedia community?
